Solo Wild Camping: Tarp Tent suspended from a Tripod Frame

[@chaswarren7239]

Gorgeous tarp set up with external poles - perfect ! To make it easy to lash 3 poles, lay them parallel to each other flat on the ground. Lash all three together but laid out flat. Lash thed lashings between the poles, then stand the tripod up. Moving the poles out to the required angle tightens the lashing. Proper hurricane lamps are awesome - a gentle pool of light. Great for walking by & heat as well - perfect. I think the one you had was just a cheap copy for effect not use.

[@WildBeare]

Thanks Chas that's really helpful, I'm gonna try this next time I make a tripod :D (and also I need to learn how to lash properly, I just make it up at the moment haha). Gonna pin this for anyone else who might find it useful :) Yehh I looove the feel of the lamps 😍This one was rubbish, I agree although it is sold as a functional lamp it's not fit for purpose at all! Thanks for the tip and for watching my lil viddy, have a great week! 🌿Claire

[@scrum5atk1]

Is that a 3x3 tarp? If so,you can fold the back under to make a ground sheet,,you dont lose any room

[@WildBeare]

@@scrum5atk1 this one is 3 x 2.9 so close enough, but not enough to alow cover the ground in this configuration. It can be done in other configurations :)

[@francismccrossan1669]

Nice to see you nice back out hope you enjoyed doing the video shame you didn't get a good night sleep be nice listen to the wild life though stay safe and stay warm and stay healthy one life don't waist it blessed be

[@oldhairpin]

So, brilliant idea to get more space. It's inspired me to do the same but just attach it to a ridge line which whilst not as cool as yours, will be equal to my laziness 😂

[@brianlopez8855]

Your cheerfulness and positivity is relentless but, very charming.

[@thaddeusmikolajczyk4518]

It is really nice to hear the birds greetings in the morning.

[@timmooney7528]

I was given a lantern like that as a gift. I haven't used it yet, however I will test it at home before taking it on a trip. On the past I've used a lantern head that screws on a propane bottle.

[@dabruscar]

So much fun. Amazing location. Enjoy

[@horndog7357]

I like your connection with nature, a gentle soul

[@andrewoutandabout7224]

Enjoyed your video. It’s my escapism from life with a noisy toddler!

[@robertfreland5124]

Really like your camp. I really enjoyed your smile and your enthusiasm.

[@michaellangan7378]

That was a cool where you set up your tent it's kind of neat the way that tent was set up and it's kind of cool to see it like that

[@johnoldonekanole602]

Well , young lady you have managed to make another wonderful vid of your adventures . Be careful with the lamps . Should they tip over they will spill the fuel and start a terrible fire . Be very careful hanging them . They put out a lot of heat and never hang them from any type of cordage , it will burn it or melt it . Make a short hanger from a metal coat hanger .Your photography is very good especially of the bugs . Ok now for the important stuff. Your smile brightens the entire vid .Thank you for sharing your adventures . Stay safe .

[@CurrentlyOnLV-426]

Not sure of anybody else commented on it, but your oil lamp is neither cheap nor malfunctioning. You need to let the wick soak for at least couple of days, if it’s your first one, in order to have long lasting light. That way, it will burn for good 7-9 hours if your burning half wick or less. When you replace for a new one, change it at the end of your camping trip, so it will sit in your home until your next outing giving it a plenty of time to soak up fuel. Do this and you’ll always have a lantern ready to burn for your next camping trip. Cheers.

[@robmontier3770]

...and for a better flame, cut the corners off the wick like this \_________/

[@colinmclean3029]

The run on bad weather seems to be broken....At last!😊 Grand wee set up and nice chill out vid.👍👍👍👍

[@clarkcaparas1509]

Very nice idea for a tent making...love your lamp and alcohol stove. Keep safe.

[@luluwan5212]

Awesome way to set up a tarp..that was sweet!

[@jamesmays701]

Claire I have seen this tarp setup with poles many times...but never with tripod...so simple with right tarp and gobsmacked that I didnct even think about..thank you keep up with ur adventures!

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Nice tarp set-up, sturdy. Shame that the lantern bust. Got to love a noisy woodland camp, count on the birds to kick up a fuss. There’s always something to tweet about ☺️

[@TheRukisama]

Ah, I was just thinking last night that I hope we get a new video from you soon, and here you are!

[@johnimmins7302]

Great idea with setting up the tarp using the poles. The narrow entrance leading into the tardis like inner. Your camping in any weather is an example to us all. My ten year old grandson is one of your biggest fans. Looking forward to the next one.

[@TroyTelfer]

Love your videos Claire, you're such an inspiration. I also love my "old skool" oil lamp. I use Citronella oil in mine which helps immensely with keeping the bugs out of the "Home away from home". Keep up the great work. ❤

[@FrankRzzo]

Hard to ignore an outdoor lady like this. Lots of work to create this content 👍

[@themodesttraveler745]

i think i prefer the winter camping videos :-) but al the videos are awesome . just i like the winter ones the best .

[@peterlee1543]

Great to watch your videos.I find them so inspiring for me.Just to watch and see how fearless you are I wish I had a little bit of your courage.I am now 75 years old and have never done much camping.But you bring me such pleasure in just watching.God Bless you and may you have many many more years of camping. Peter.🙏🙏

[@YsterbergZA]

Nice change from the 'traditional' tarp tent set up. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertfreland5124]

Nice vid Claire, Beautiful smile,nice camping skills.And i love the way you say gnite to everyone,when heading to bed.

[@markatchison9974]

Silky saws. Essential equipment for the woods. Effortless cutting on the pull stroke with a very hard blade. I have the BigBoy 2000 + a Gransfors Bruk outdoor axe. Loadsa fun.

[@richardmacyczko1580]

No wonder you love the bivy, you don't have to get out of "bed" to get out of the tent. HA! I do love the tripod setup. Great idea, it does give you lots more room. Until next time, respect from Florida! 🌲 🌹

[@alunjones2550]

I think you do some of the best tarp set-ups on KZbin.

[@lincspreparednessandoutdoo2648]

Cracking tarp tent set Claire. Top tip, pack a couple of short bungees, make suspending the tsrp an absolute doddle. The lanterns are great. I have Feurhand baby and its lovely gives such a warming glow, very satisfying

[@silvervon2658]

To France, tank you for your videos. It’s a plaisir for me. Sorry for my bad english.

[@GpoppaJohn]

Claire, the greatest respect to you. You show immense bravery in what you do and are such a huge inspiration to all. You show women and young girls that they can achieve anything in a masculine defined world. A woman, wild camping on her own in the woods, a woman scrambling over loose shale and rocks! Preposterous man!! You, my young lady are a light of hope in this ugly world. Your humble, you recognise your own shortcomings, but don’t let them define you. Often you will say, “I could have done this or that better” but guess what, there are no ‘ifs or buts’ with you, you just dust yourself down and get back out there and do it. I recently watched your 3 day Snowden video and was in awe of you, likewise with your cave camping, which you labelled a fail. That wasn’t a fail, that was heroic. If any young girls, single mums, survivors of domestic abuse or any females with poor mental health need some inspiration and a reason to live or stand up to their abuser, they need look no further than yourself for inspiration. You should be commended for your tenacity, your never say never attitude and your ability to turn a negative experience into a positive one. Well done Claire 👏👏👏👏 I await your next adventure with anticipation. Meanwhile back to my grandchildren and showing them what they can achieve in life through hard work and determination. The world needs more ClaireBeare’s 🙅🏻‍♀️💚

[@WildBeare]

Ahh wow thank you so much, what a lovely comment! A lot of people say they think I'm brave, in truth I'm more comfortable doing these things than 'normal' things that other people can do easily.. I can struggle in busy places, noisy places, big groups of people, some social situations etc. Nature feels like home to me, an escape from all that and it's a great place to push myself a bit, learn new things and take time away from modern life. And just be immersed in beautiful and rugged things, there's nothing like it 💚 I really appreciate you coming along on my lil journeys, I truly love both the adventures (big and small!) and creating videos of them, so I'm very grateful that they're well received ☺ Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 🌿 Claire

[@GpoppaJohn]

@@WildBeare You deserve the recognition Claire. 👍🌟

[@carltondoorman9145]

I loved the way you laid your tent out, set up the frame, and then just pulled the rope and the tent rose and took shape all at once. Really clever way to pitch a tent! Nice video.

[@robertmartin8762]

Another fine job Claire. Always chipper and happiest when in outdoor setting. Irish Bob is constantly impressed.Adapting to suit the environment; and leaving no traces is bonus.😇😇🤗😎

[@WildBeare]

Why thank you Irish Bob :) yes I do love to be out in the wild places 🌿Hope you're having a lovely weekend! Claire

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

I always enjoy watching you set up camp and talking to us. Happy that you found a reliable lantern and weren’t harmed by the other one.

[@gazoutdoors7525]

What a awesome little setup you have there again Claire Me Lovely❤😊🙂👍👌🙂😊❤

[@Hayyothhakodesh]

Hun...u CRUSH the psychedelic tarp set ups haha hell yeah! Way to go, be brave, crush it, style it and take no prisoners. It's a joy to see someone so connected to the outdoors just doin it their way and lovin it and passing on the amazing vibes of wild freedom! Mad props from the USA 🇺🇸! Ps that's a very good thing we used to always say in our good. Thankyou for ur work. Stay well.

I've enjoyed this channel since stumbling across it, fun, enthusiastic and made me found my lost hobby again. Also hosted by a lovely intelligent lady! 👍

[@kurtbaier6122]

Some trips are like that. I don’t think we realize how much the noise of modern life affects us until it’s gone and nature takes its place. I find it takes awhile to unwind and sleep.

[@WildBeare]

Deffo, although it's quite nice to lay & listen 🥰

[@Eireocean]

Best tarp looking setup I have seen in a while ...

[@jasonhiggins6262]

Massive thank you, you inspired me to take my 14 year old twins wild camping and they loved it and mum is coming next time. Relaxing and informative channel. Glad its taking off.

[@gailrogers3046]

Such a spacious set up that. Thanks for the upload. You’re a star ⭐️ 💗

[@juhalaakso8367]

Hei. Sinä teet mielenkiintoisia luontoretkiä ja katselen niitä mielelläni. Minulle tulee aina nälkä,kun laitat itsellesi hyvää ruokaa. Minä harrastan kajakilla retkeilyä ja tutkimme kävellen saaria. Retkillä myös uimme,jos vesi ei ole kovin kylmää ja samalla voi peseytyä. Luonto on täälläkin hyvin kaunis. Meillä on tapana kerätä roskia luonnosta ,eikä myöskään leiriytymisestämme jää mitään jälkeä. Valitettavasti uusi öljylamppusi ei toiminut. Kiitos Sinulle ja iloiset terveiset täältä Suomesta. t.Juha❤

[@stevegreen2753]

Great idea! It's always a good day to wake up and see you have uploaded again. We all need more wild in our lives.

Awesome thanks for sharing Claire 😊

[@cmac329]

We love how you hop in like a spring bunny! Oil lamps are fab, just need to keep them outside! Only recently found your channel and both myself and my daughter are hooked, you are so brave, a true inspiration. Maybe I’ll be brave enough for a daddy/daughter wild camp this spring, it’s already lovely, Hampshire was a barmy 17 degrees today 🥰Thank you for your vlogs 👍🏻😎

[@WildBeare]

Hello to you and your daughter :D 👋🏼 and welcome to my lil channel :) Ahh that would be amazing if you can both get out, you'll make memories that'll last a lifetime 💚I love to go out with my son, he's 10 now and I'm hoping to take him on his first multi-night this year, now that he's big enough to carry a few of his own things. It was lovely here in the Chilterns today too, Spring is deffo on the way, yay 🌿Have a lovely week you guys! Claire

[@cmac329]

Thank you Claire. The Chilterns looks a lovely spot to be based in. We are lucky to have a huge woodland opposite us on the South Downs that we can get totally lost in🌲🍄🌳🪵 We head over often after school to unwind. My daughter, Lily, she is nine now, how did that happen 🤷🏻‍♂️⏱🪰 she maybe old enough to carry, but I’m still the carrier of bags 😂 but secretly I love it! I hope you both enjoy your trips together this year, I look forward to watching your new adventures, 🌞 Clint

Neat problem-solving with the tripod. Another enjoyable video. Thanks.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 Claire, thank you for sharing another fine outdoor adventure. You did a job in setting up your tarp tent. Always the best of good things for you. Stay healthy out there. 🤗

[@Improveng1]

Nice one Claire, but I'm going to nag you again. Learn the tripod lashing, it's super easy to do and has many uses around camp. Tripods are sturdy and reliable support structures and have many uses from ridge pole supports to over the fire cooking stands, game skinning etc. One of the real bonuses and joys of bushcraft/survival/camping, is learning new skills which make your outdoor experiences, much more pleasurable and rewarding. Just saying. :))

[@IntenseAngler]

Excellent setup Claire! That definitely increased the living space of your shelter for sure. Thank you for taking the time to share yet another of your awesome adventures with us my friend! Stay Wild!

[@WildBeare]

Thank you, I loved it :) hope you have a lovely weekend! 🌿

[@SheepDogActual]

Claire, another great one. Passing it on to my scouts again. Thanks for the adventure.

[@frankbrown524]

Chilled video 😊 I like the tarp tent frame set up. As far as oil lamps go I use a German Feuerhand make, it's great quality and the flame looks amazing, I use Bartoline premium fuel that burns really cleanly, love it, sets a fantastic atmosphere

Nice set up! Not only does it look good from the outside but it's more practical inside! Love your vids 😁

[@jonhall4602]

I bring a paraffin oil lamp with me every time I go camping. I don’t know what it is but it’s so relaxing having that little flicker of light going.

[@laurencetilley9194]

Carrying a couple of 100mm x 6mm SS rings saves on a lot of tripod lashings in bushcraft. Great bits of kit, so many uses. Using a 4.5m x 3.0m tarp allows a molded floor for your tarp tent, great when its wet and when there are heaps of creepy crawlies. That extra 1.5m gives you a lot more tarp options. lol. Love the hiking boots, I have the same brand, warm, sturdy, light and waterproof. 🙂

[@SamhainBe]

Outside frame and digging in poles - great ideas! Well done Claire!

[@happyguy61]

Nice work on the suspended tarp set up Claire👍 Shame about the lantern but yeah it looked a bit cheap and nasty. A good quality one will no doubt do the ambience trick🙂

Sweet set up love the outside tripod , Very cool , u probably all ready know this it might have already been mentioned , the little light weight trowel if u use it the other way round at first so the thin end goes into the ground it cuts that little bit better into the soil , I read some where that's oringally how these were designed 👍👣👣 GREAT CHANNEL.

Tripod tarp tent - excellent! You make good video.

[@brucemoffatt]
